It includes Qur’ans, illustrated manuscripts, rare books, scientific instruments, textiles, coins, paintings and prints, as well as unique archival documents and examples of the work of some of the earliest photographers of the Hajj. It is one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of its kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing insightful chapters on the Islamic principles of Hajj, travel, rituals, sacred manuscripts, textiles, souvenirs and Western perspectives, this wonderfully illustrated volume narrates and reveals the broad spiritual, cultural and artistic aspects of the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina.

Dubai’s skyline features the world’s tallest tower, Burj Khalifa; the giant Dubai Mall; the Burj Al Arab seven-star hotel and the Dubai International Airport—the ultimate extravagance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDubai Wonder\u003c\/em\u003e tours readers through this storied city and its cultural diversity and distinct neighborhoods, including Deira, home to the Khor Dubai, a creek that Dubai’s economy relied on for several decades for pearl diving and fishing; Al Quoz, the cultural heart of the city; the Dubai International Financial Centre and Jumeirah, a largely residential district featuring the emirate’s notable resorts along its coast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther stops on the tour include Dubai’s burgeoning art scene, the Art Dubai fair and Alserkal Avenue, a cluster of warehouses containing art galleries. \u003cem\u003eDubai Wonder\u003c\/em\u003e also takes readers inside the highly anticipated Expo 2020 Dubai, opening in October 2021 and already heralded as the grandest world fair in history.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, knew there was only one way forward: the emirates had to unite under a single nation.

Sheikh Zayed’s profound care for his people extended to the environment, as he helped transform the Arab desert into an oasis for agriculture.

A Zuhair Murad couture piece requires hundreds of hours of handcrafted beading, embroidery, and finishing by his Paris and Beirut ateliers, and his eye for show- stopping detail has defined some of the most iconic red-carpet moments of the last decade. With a loyal following of fashion’s most influential stylists, editors, and celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Sofía Vergara, Celine Dion, Kylie Minogue, and Rita Ora, Zuhair Murad creates couture confections of unparalleled glamour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the beginning, women have been at the center of Zuhair Murad’s life; examples of beauty and grace, of elegance and power, to be revered and celebrated. His work, his passion, is making not only his dreams, but their dreams into reality; his couture dresses are canvases for conveying moods and emotion. Murad’s inspiration is always a woman with an hourglass silhouette, a celebration of the female form divine, reinventing her each season. Drawing inspiration from past and present, his imagination conjures the ideal of a strong, powerful and distinctly contemporary woman interlaced with the sublimation of the eternal feminine. His roots in Lebanon, a melting pot of cultures, histories, beliefs and aesthetics, poised at the crossroads of Asia, Europe and Africa, form a unique vantage point from which to observe multiple views, like a kaleidoscope. A postmodern voyager, Zuhair Murad boldly and innovatively combines colors and decorations, shapes and fabrics, artfully draping women in fine beading and embroidery evocative of other times and places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content 44eb89d0-6cb8-4133-b52f-a8c91d2af877\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e288 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eover 500 illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased in October 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW 11 x L 13.8 x D 1.85 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover presented in a luxury slipcase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: \u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e9781614288930\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.6 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 tabindex=\"0\" class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__shipping is-open\" data-focus-element=\"\" data-accordion-toggle=\"\" data=\"\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlexander Fury is a fashion journalist, author, and critic.

With time, advanced geometric elements and shapes such as circles, arches, rhombuses, and crescents, as well as vegetal and linear motifs, were introduced, forming sleek, elegant patterns interspersed with more complex patterns such as flowers, bunches of grapes, and hexagonal shapes. All these elements were cleverly adapted by artisans in a simple manner, either by enlarging the size of an element or by using different colors and shades, or through the number of repetitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough Hamani’s lens, these doors become more than embellishments—they are living testaments to the city’s grandeur, adorned with details that narrate the story of Diriyah’s prosperity beneath the embrace of the Saudi State.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__shipping is-open\" data-focus-element=\"\" data-accordion-toggle=\"\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content 44eb89d0-6cb8-4133-b52f-a8c91d2af877\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e208 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased in January 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section__body accordion__body\" data-accordion-body=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list-holder\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list faq-list--2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__about is-open\" data-focus-element=\"\" data-accordion-toggle=\"\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section__body accordion__body\" data-accordion-body=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list-holder\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list faq-list--1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content 9dd3149e-85db-4ddc-87aa-e9281a3c4b32\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Assouline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50220004245798,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/1860\/8166\/files\/DD_FRONT_3000x_67321bf9-9cad-4295-a8cf-6b35b3e156cc.jpg?v=1741134380"},{"product_id":"the-legacy-of-a-saudi-art-space-prince-faisal-bin-fahd-arts-hall-misk-art-institute","title":"The Legacy of a Saudi Art Space: Prince Faisal bin Fahd Arts Hall (Misk Art Institute)","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis item is final sale.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-accordion-toggle=\"\" data-focus-element=\"\" class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title  rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__faq  is-open\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-accordion-body=\"\" class=\"section__body accordion__body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list-holder\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list faq-list--1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content faq-1\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this captivating volume, explore the Hall’s enduring influence on the cultural fabric of Saudi Arabia while delving into its rich history and cultural significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially established in 1985, the Hall was one of the first buildings in Riyadh dedicated to fine arts.
